Cool feedback. I'd be curious as to what sort of background someone might have where they are more familiar with data structure and algorithm puzzles than creating instances of a class with a default value in an OOP language.

As far as I know, the level of each kata is determined through feedback during its beta process, which for this particular one was more than 9 years ago. It's possible that criteria and other things have changed. The language versions and directions for testing, etc. seem to have.

Not an 8 kyu for sure. C# directions contain very little info to go off of. If I were a beginner I would not have known what to do at all and passed on this one. After you figure it out though it makes sense. I am glad to see more challenges involving OOP and classes, instead of just the normal Data structures and algos BS. That being said, someone doing level 8s are not going to figure this out.

Thank you!

best solution and best practice

Very good for newbies training!
